Ali Bush & the 40 Thieves
This article takes a new spin on the Iraq issue and says that the action is all about Anti-Gravity. Apparently, the US has some new technologies to test out and the reason the UK & Australia are so in favor of joining with us is they want access to these technologies too.

It makes sense in a way, what with all those flying magic carpets they have over there in the Middle East. We can't allow Saddam to corner our market in Anti-Gravity!
